Show WHY DAIRYING? J y The above caption looks foolish. So much has been said in th past concerning the natural advantages of Milford valley for the dairying industry indus-try that the News would rather hate to raise its weak voice in the hope of being able to hasten the coming of the dairying industry to its fullest significance here; but that time . is surely coming, and if the News can hasten that time in the least, we feel that it has played a. very important part in the upbuilding of Milford valley. This valley, with its wide acreage of alfalfa hay, is naturally suited for dairying. Dairying is almost all clear velvet. Crop failures come and go, but dairying is stable. To be sure, many people would prefer a quicker route to financial indipendence. It takes patience and routine toil to make a success of dairying. It has been noted, however, that among farmers who have moved their families fami-lies into Milford from nearby farms in recent months, only those who kept dairy cattle on their farms were able to pay cash for their homes in Milford. Mil-ford. Various individuals and organizations organiza-tions are deserving of commendation for the part they are playing at present pres-ent in utilizing every moment to urge the growth of dairying here. Prominent Promin-ent among these are the Lions club, the Milford State Bank, the Kirk Realty company, and others. Dr. C. R. Parrish, local physician, is what might be called a pioneer in the dairying dairy-ing field here, and by the phenomenal phenomen-al growth, of his plant, is daily demonstrating dem-onstrating -what can be done along this line. LewMar Price, county agricultural agri-cultural agent, preaches the idea of dairying wherever he can get an audience. audi-ence. Milford, with its rich watered lands, its railway facilities, its local and foreign market, should always boost this industry, to the limit we would say, although there really is no limit. It is not the -hope' of this valley, for we have yaried industries right now, but it is a hope of the smaller farmer. In fact, it is a godsend to those who have all their money tied up in a hay or grain crop. With ajjl of Milford's facilities, it is more than an idle dream to visualize the coming of a condensery to this town, affording employment to many, and giving nearby farmers an income over and above that which they are now making. In the past, the News has always been on the boosting side of a local development program. It shall continue con-tinue to be the policy of this paper to slight nothing worthwhile for Milford and Beaver county, but particularly parti-cularly to be a steady advocate of the dairying industry. |
